Abstract

In this study, we simulated the developing process of two-dimensional corona discharge using the fluid method in 760 torr. It was assumed that the transport coefficients of nitrogen gas were only the function of local electric field. Discharge mechanisms considered were a Townsend first ionization and a secondary electron emission. We obtained spatio-temporal distribution of electron and ion by calculating continuity equation using FCT algorithm and calculated an electric field distribution considering a space charge.
